On Kijiji, http://www.kijiji.ca/v-guitar/city-...ss/1037539992?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true found ad online, and its literally down the street, soo, is $1500 too much?? how much do you think is negotiable? I have an old squire pbass, but ive been playing for a while, and practicing for a long time to lead me to finally upgrade to the bass I always wanted one day.
You could get a corvette for a significantly less. But that's a decent price. Not great but I've seen them for much more.
Keep looking. A BO thumb can be had for considerably less, in my experience. I got a BO fiver for $1100 a few years back. YMMV
